Bernese Oberland
Stunning views of the Swiss Alps, including the famous peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau as you cross northward.
Lake Constance
A massive view of the Bodensee, where the borders of Switzerland, Germany, and Austria meet.
Frankfurt am Main
Aerial perspective of the 'Mainhattan' skyline and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs.
Hamburg Port
Clear views of the Elbe river and the sprawling container terminals of Germany's 'Gateway to the World'.
Fehmarn Island
The final stretch over the Baltic Sea showing the Fehmarn Sound Bridge connecting Germany to Scandinavia.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Alpine peaks without direct glare. During the descent into CPH, keep an eye out for the wind farms in the Baltic Sea. For the best photography, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze over the mountains.

Lake Como
Breathtaking views of the Y-shaped lake and the surrounding villas immediately after departure from Linate.
Bernina Massif
Glacial views of the highest peaks in the Eastern Alps, often visible shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Bavarian Plains
Looking east toward Munich and the rolling green landscapes of southern Germany.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, providing a dark green contrast to the surrounding plains.
Øresund Bridge
On the final approach to Copenhagen, you often get a perfect view of the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden.
The right side is superior for the arrival phase; if the plane lands on Runway 04L, you will see the Øresund Bridge and the Swedish coastline clearly. In the winter, this side catches the late afternoon sun, which can be harsh for photos but beautiful for golden hour views over the Baltic.
